白い雪のプリンセスは (Dance Cover) Trivia

– When H!P videos weren’t available, I looked through a bunch of non-H!P dances to see if there was anything I wanted to try. I saw the thumbnail for this and recognized the song title from years ago, so I decided to check it out because I always like Ririri and Melochin’s videos. I was really excited to see that they had a new choreography for this song (the old one was all over the place XD), and I immediately fell in love with it. It took me a while to figure out how I would do this dance by myself, but I think I got it~. Kinda. XD

– I filmed this dance January 31st into February 1st.

– As I said in the video description (and also on my Facebook page earlier in the month), it took me twelve hours to film all of the parts for this dance. It was actually incredibly hard on me. orz At one point, when the camera kept screwing up, I started hyperventilating and had to take a break from filming for a while. I had to do many takes for the princess and prince parts, and I was devastated when I saw that the camera had somehow moved enough to mess up the split line. I spent about half an hour trying to get it back, but it never worked out. orz

– The prince’s part ended up a bit blurry even after tons of takes, but I finally had to stop because my right shoulder was absolutely killing me. Whatever I did, it got worse the next day, and I was unable to move my right arm for most of the day. I spent most of the day after filming in bed. T__T

– The capelet I had for the princess’ part was something that I had gotten from Halloween clearance in 2014. I think it was less than $6, so that was nice. =D

– The skirt for the princess’ part was a piece of girls’ Fourth of July clothing from Target last year. XD

– Oh my goodness, I just realized I’ve worn a wide belt in every one of my dance covers so far this year. XD I really do like them~.

– I actually bought a blonde wig for the prince’s part, but I ended up not using it, because I just couldn’t get it to look good. =/ The wig wasn’t the best, but I think I just can’t pull off blonde hair in general. XD So, yep, that was a waste of money… orz

– The original title screen had a really simple white font, but I wanted it to look a little fancier, so I made a new title screen in Photoshop just yesterday (and, of course, that meant I had to re-render the video)~.

– I wasn’t 100% sure how to fix the “curse” part of the dance, so it looks a bit strange, but I suppose it was okay for a solo dance. (^_^”)

– The very last thing I filmed was the close up shot of me falling. As I said earlier, I had to stop re-filming the prince’s part because my shoulder (and back and neck) were in pretty bad condition for whatever reason; however, though I stopped filming the prince’s part, I still needed to do the falling scene. O__O It wasn’t completely terrible, because I fell onto a fluffy beanbag chair, but it still wasn’t any entirely pleasant shot to film. =/

– Filming and editing issues aside, I was pretty happy with how this one turned out~. ^__^

– I uploaded a short dance practice to my Patreon page over two weeks before I uploaded the dance to YouTube. I also have eighteen pictures of the outfits from this dance (six for each outfit) available for download on my Patreon page~.

– I actually had this dance uploaded and posted on here, but after watching it again, I decided the timing was slightly off, so I made this post private and took a short nap. After I woke up, I readjusted the timing (thank goodness I still had the Movie Maker file with all the clips in place!!), because it had indeed been about 0.3 seconds off. (-_-“) (My mother informed me that the timing is just fine, but I still feel like YouTube made it just barely too fast even after I fixed it… *shakes fist*)

Hmm… I think that’s all for this one. And now, it’s time for me to sleep~. I wonder if I’ll be awake for any of Valentine’s Day besides the super-early morning… XD
